Shabbat 117: Literally, a Bun (or Several) in the Oven

More rescuing from a fire on Shabbat – this time, food: for the 3 meals of Shabbat (or maybe all food), and enough to feed your animals. Also: An example of needing to save your bread from the fire – in the event of forgetting your bread in the communal bakery (what you can do to salvage your bread). Note how the day is designed to cultivate the “sparkles” of Shabbat in us. Plus: Prooftexts from the Torah for getting up early on Friday to prepare for Shabbat, for having lechem mishnah (2 loaves of challah for each meals), and having 3 meals on Shabbat. Also, cutting one large slice of challah to last the whole meal – which might be too gluttonous for every meal, but not when it’s clearly an unusually Shabbat practice.
